Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT             10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.6.10571.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

In the Windows "Preferred Languages" settings.
Set "English (United Kingdom)" as first option
Set "German (Germany)" as the second option

Launch Windows Terminal

Expected behavior

Expected behaviour would be that all tool tips and messages would be in English

Actual behavior

All of the Tool tips and messages are actually appearing in German

NOTE: If you put "English (United States)" above "German (Germany)" in the Preferred languages then the tool tips and messages are as expected, so looks like just an issue with ignoring the "English (United Kingdom)" preference
